Harry Potter:

The Trion-Hunt

Chapter 1

Harry walked down the grounds of Hogwarts to Hagrid's hut. Ron jogged after him, while Hermione ambled along, her face buried in a book.

Before they arrived at the hut, Professor Dumbledore and Hagrid strolled out. Dumbledore was holding out The Daily Prophet and talking to Hagrid about it.

Harry continued walking, and this time, Hermione and Ron focused on Dumbledore and Hagrid. Hagrid spotted them, and rushed over, in a great hurry.

"'Arry, ow are you? You 'ave an appetite fer trouble, don' you? Well, look a' this, an' tell me what you think abou' this!"

Trion Attacks!

Yesterday, at dawn, a monster called a Trion attacked Godric's Hollow. It destroyed no more than 5 houses, when Muggles poured in, after hearing a racket.

"The Trion has 3 faces of a Dragon, a tail of a tiger, and the body of a Hippogriff. We strongly urge the public to report the Trion if they see it, as the Muggles might be endangered as well." Said Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge.

"Wow, a Trion! They mostly live in Canada and Australia, not in Europe!" exclaimed Hermione.

Ron turned deathly white and murmured, "Trion's are vicious, though…"

At this, Dumbledore turned to him and replied, "Trion's are only vicious if you provoke them, so someone must be responsible for this."

Harry, however, was thinking about something else.

"Since I'm a Sixth Year now, can I go to the Restricted Section in the Library to lookup Trion's?" asked Harry.

"Yes, Sixth and Seventh Years are allowed to go without using a teacher's signature." replied Dumbledore.

At once, Harry raced to the castle, leaving Ron and Hermione talking to Dumbledore and Hagrid. He nearly crashed into Professor McGonnagal while he jogged to the Library, and he had 5 points taken off Griffindor because Professor Snape spotted him inside.

Finally, he reached the Library, and noticed that lot's of people reading books about Magical Creatures; Their Uses and Habitats. He walked towards the Restricted Section, and when he got there, Malfoy surprised him by being there already, accompanied by Crabbe and Goyle.

"Hey, Potter, why are you in here? You're too much of a Muggle to even come to Hogwarts…as if it isn't bad already, with Dumbledore in charge…my Dad said You-Know-Who can take over Hogwarts twice as easily, now…" spat Malfoy.

Harry plunged his hand into his robes, pulled out his wand and cried,

"Petrificus Totalus!"

It missed, but Malfoy snarled, "MORSMORDRE!"A massive smoky-green skull erupted from his wand, with a hissing snake sticking out. Malfoy's face was a mixture of amusement and hatred, as he watched the look on Harry's face.
